Advantages of Blogging

It's not all roses . There are several disadvantages to using a weblog format to publish your content. with Blogger , the primary disadvantage is that the informational tends to get disorganized over time . The main linking system is to archives of previous posts, which are organized in monthly or weekly increments by date. in other words, It doesn't provide well thought out main navigation categories that lead to subsections on specific topics. Other weblog software, including WordPress, allows you to categorize posts by topic, which is a good organizational aid . A disadvantage people find after starting a blog in a burst of enthusiasm is that a blog requires a time commitment.
